One of the first questions organizations ask when evaluating AI solutions is simple: "What happens to my data?" Zero Data Retention (ZDR) provides a straightforward answer: your data is processed to generate a response and is not retained afterward. As AI adoption continues to grow, understanding how vendors handle data privacy, retention, and model training is becoming increasingly important. Our latest blog explores what Zero Data Retention means, how it works, and why it matters for organizations handling sensitive information. frameworksecurity.com/post/z…

If your cyber insurance renewal was tomorrow, would you be confident in your answers? Insurers are asking tougher questions than ever before, and many of those questions reveal the same security gaps attackers are looking for. Our latest blog breaks down the seven controls underwriters are prioritizing in 2026. #CyberInsurance #SecurityGaps #FrameworkSecurity frameworksecurity.com/post/y…

CMMC Level 2 readiness is no longer a “future problem” for defense contractors. In 2026, organizations across the Defense Industrial Base are facing increasing pressure to operationalize cybersecurity controls, document evidence properly, and prepare for third-party assessments tied to DoD contract eligibility. The biggest challenge we continue to see? Companies often underestimate the operational and documentation maturity required to successfully achieve and maintain compliance. We put together a practical guide covering: ✔️ CMMC Level 2 requirements ✔️ Assessment expectations ✔️ Common compliance gaps ✔️ Documentation and evidence preparation ✔️ Implementation considerations for 2026 Read the full guide here: frameworksecurity.com/post/t… #CMMC #CMMC2 #NIST800171 #Cybersecurity #GovCon #DefenseIndustrialBase #Compliance #FrameworkSecurity

Most boards are asking the wrong AI question in 2026. Not: “Are we using AI?” But: “Do we actually understand the risks we’ve already introduced?” AI risk is no longer theoretical. It’s operational. Shadow AI, agentic workflows, prompt injection, third-party model dependencies, data leakage, compliance exposure, reputational damage - these are now board-level concerns, not just IT issues. Recent guidance from NIST and enterprise governance leaders shows that AI risk management is quickly becoming a core business discipline, not an optional security exercise. What many organizations still miss: ✅ AI governance is not about blocking tools ✅ Traditional cyber risk frameworks are often insufficient ✅ The real challenge is visibility, accountability, and ongoing assessment See Framework Security's take on what boards should actually be asking in 2026. frameworksecurity.com/post/a… #AI #CyberSecurity #Governance #RiskManagement #ArtificialIntelligence #BoardLeadership #InfoSec #Compliance #EnterpriseAI

Many agentic AI concepts perform well in controlled demos, but translating them into reliable production systems introduces a different set of challenges. At Framework Security, we recently shared our perspective on what it takes to build agentic systems that operate effectively in real-world environments: frameworksecurity.com/post/a… Key considerations: • Context management is a design constraint, not an afterthought • System architecture often drives outcomes more than model selection • Structured inputs, outputs, and tool interactions are critical for consistency • Reliability comes from disciplined orchestration, not emergent behavior As organizations continue to operationalize AI, success will depend less on experimentation and more on engineering rigor.

A recent report highlights a significant shift in how vulnerabilities are being discovered. Anthropic’s latest research indicates that AI systems can identify thousands of previously unknown (zero-day) vulnerabilities across major operating systems and browsers, with a reported 72% exploit success rate. This is not just an incremental improvement in tooling, it represents a step change in capability. At this scale, vulnerability discovery is no longer constrained by human bandwidth. AI can continuously analyze complex codebases, identify weaknesses, and validate exploitability at a pace that materially compresses the timeline between discovery and risk exposure. For security teams, this raises important considerations: • The window between vulnerability discovery and exploitation is shrinking • Traditional patching cycles may no longer be sufficient on their own • Greater emphasis is needed on detection, response, and runtime protections While this research demonstrates the defensive potential of AI, it also underscores how quickly these capabilities could be leveraged offensively. Security strategies will need to evolve accordingly, prioritizing resilience, visibility, and speed. 📄 Full report: lnkd.in/gQ4CEYtr #InformationSecurity #AppSec #CloudSecurity #AI #ArtificialIntelligence

Looking for an AI builder and admin in LA who's already running @openclaw. 🦞 We need someone who saw the repo, fixed the config, and got agents running last month because you *had* to see how it worked. We are Framework Security, a seven-year-old cybersecurity consulting firm with 5 human employees, each using a brand-new Mac Mini running OpenClaw for the past 2 months. Below is the link to the job description if anyone is interested. We are only seeking someone who is in the greater LA area. Even though our team works at home 90% of the time, we still see value in grabbing lunch or a beer and working through a problem on our laptops in the same room. frameworksecurity.com/career… Come automate security & ops with us @FrameworkSec. #AI #Agents #CyberSecurity #LosAngeles #Hiring @steipete

The Crunchbase breach isn’t just another headline — it’s a case study in modern cyber risk. Identity, access, and visibility failures continue to cause real business impact long before “advanced exploits” ever matter.

Most organizations are racing to adopt AI. Very few are securing it. AI introduces new data paths, new decision risks, and new ways to fail at scale. Treating AI risk as “someone else’s problem” is no longer an option.

Security programs don’t usually fail because teams did something wrong. They fail because the business outgrew the assumptions they were built on. January is when this gap becomes obvious—budgets reset, strategies shift, AI adoption accelerates.

Happy Holidays from Framework Security 🎄✨ As the year comes to a close, we’re grateful for the clients, partners, and community members who made this year impactful. Thank you for trusting us to help protect what matters most. We’re looking forward to the year ahead and continuing to build strong, secure foundations together. Wishing you a safe, joyful holiday season and a successful New Year!

Most AppSec programs focus on scanning code and chasing vulnerabilities. But frameworks define defaults, behavior, and security boundaries across every application. If you’re not securing the framework layer, you’re leaving systemic risk untouched. We wrote about why framework security is the missing layer in most AppSec programs and how addressing it reduces risk at scale. 👉 frameworksecurity.com/post/w… #FrameworkSecurity #DevSecOps #ApplicationSecurity
